@buttondown Any Fediverse integration existing or on the roadmap?
@tchambers What did you have in mind? Spiritually pro (we support webmentions and are working on h-entry support) but don't have a great mental image of what federation itself would look like beyond that!
@buttondown Hmm. For starters: embedding Masto posts as you know embed Tweets in newsletters. But maybe also auto-posting to the Fedi with each new newsletter going live, with a snippet of the article auto-posted by an integrated Fedi account into a new Fedi post? Micro.blog does it this way but only supports free newsletters: https://www.manton.org/2021/12/06/introducing-email-newsletter.html
@tchambers ah, definitely re: the former — has been on the roadmap for a while but I was struggling to find a consistent way to identify a URL or response as a mastodon post. and will poke around the latter more!
@buttondown Cool, think it could be a powerful way to alert users of new articles and encourage readership...
@tchambers @buttondown it would be a game changer to have a newsletter summary auto-posted to my Mastodon account.
With #substack not looking to demonetize fascist and white supremacy content, I’m looking to move my newsletter
this one technically is already possible (albeit not through AP, just webhooks!) but I have a great reading list to see what the path to supporting ActivityPub is now like :)
@buttondown @mkilby Keep us posted as you explore…! Folks here can also help with more ideas, or libraries, or solutions…
@tchambers @buttondown @mkilby Literally. This is the other big feature IMO since it gets you Threads by default now too.
@buttondown @mkilby @tchambers Any chance of a comment system? Talking to an author I know and he is under the impression that you don't have one and it's important for his community.
@reflex @mkilby @tchambers I am committing to comments in January! You can quote me on that; it's been a _very_ common request the past 24 hours.
@buttondown @mkilby @tchambers Awesome to hear, I'll pass it along!
I've been doing this and its totally not hard at all:
